Although 3-year-old Skyla is battling kidney cancer, she has never let it deter her from fun activities with family and friends. When she isn’t painting, coloring or playing outside, she loves learning about new animals. Her fearless spirit and curiosity inspired her wish to visit one of the largest zoos in the country, the San Diego Zoo.

Starting a new job can be intimidating. But any anxiety I had coming into my Summer 2018 internship at Make-A-Wish was quickly expelled on my first day. It only took a brief tour around the office to learn that people here love to laugh and do their jobs well.

If you’re looking for a workplace that leaves you feeling fulfilled, purposeful and happy, Make-A-Wish is it. There are many reasons I loved interning at the National Office in Phoenix, but I know you’re very busy, so I’ll keep it to my top five.

Make-A-Wish® offers an abundance of ways to get involved, and I am lucky enough to have experienced a few. Throughout my collegiate years at the University of Arizona, I was a part of Chi Omega, the largest women’s fraternal organization in the world, and also a sponsor of Make-A-Wish.

Being in college teaches you a lot about time management and accomplishing the things you want to do. While I was busy with class, meetings, building friendships and improving my resume, I found joy in staying true to my values, and that was volunteering with Make-A-Wish® and transforming the lives of families in my community.

A wish helped Alexis believe in the impossible. This September, in honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, we thank Bristol-Meyers Squibb for its charitable contribution totaling $2.5 million, helping us grant more than 170 wishes. Thanks to you, BMS, Alexis can dream again, and see the impossible as possible.

Whether wishing to explore the underwater world through the eyes of sharks, fishing in Costa Rica waters, snorkeling over the Great Barrier Reef or even swimming on the Bahamas coast with pigs – yes, pigs – Sea wishes are as unique as the children who wish for them.
